New Albany is 1 of 300 Cities to Receive Federal Safety Grant

The City of New Albany recently received a $2.5 million Federal Grant from the Department of Homeland Security that will allow the city to hire additional fire fighters and safety personnel to serve the citizens of New Albany. The city of New Albany is one of about 300 communities across the United States selected to receive the “Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response Grants (SAFER).”

At Tuesday’s Board of Public Works and Safety Meeting, the board approved a streamlined hiring process that will allow personnel to be placed in the community sooner.

“New Albany is definitely a safe place to live, work, and raise a family, and this grant will help us continue that trend for years to come,” stated Mayor Jeff Gahan.

Soon, these new safety positions will be posted to the city’s website for residents to apply. When posted, applications will be available here: https://cityofnewalbany.applicantpool.com/jobs/
